Vengeance:

15

"Hey guys, there was no one in apartment 7...Woh." He said as he came to a hault with movement and speech. Sitting in the torn sofa in the corner of the room was a skinny, bald, bearded man. "Hello. Eddy." He growled. The anger in his voice was loud. Logan led Eddy away and Bronson stayed in the room. His gun aimed at Kaine. "How did you escape?" Bronson asked through gritted teeth. His cheeks flushed red with rage and Kaine sat forward in his sofa; "I didn't. I..." "Then how are you out?" Bronson interrupted. Kaine stood up and pointed at him; "Listen buddy, I'm tryin'a explain but you ain't listenin'. Anyway. A nice guy came into the office a week ago, let me out. Said he knew my brother. Said he wanted me to cause some havoc, so his plan would have time to unravel." "Who?" "I don't know. He had some black hoodie on. His face was covered up. You guys were all out on that parade thing so he snuck in." Bronson pulled back the hammer on the gun and yelled; "Sit down!" Kaine lifted his hands in surrender and sat down; "What'd I do to you Bud'?" He asked sincerely and Bronson walked forward, put the gun to his side, placed his hand around the back of Kaine's neck and threw him to the ground; "You killed Barbara, last night." Kaine's eyebrow arched and then he started talking again, his deep voice breaking the awkward silence; "Oh yeah. Bar lady Barbara. Her fiancé run that bar don'he?" Bronson closed his eyes so he could only see out of the slit between his eye and eye lid; "Are you running the Rioters now? Do you have anything to do with the new gang who are robbing banks?" He shook his head and stood up, wiping the dust off of his clothes; "Nope. Never even heard of 'em. Sorry. Ya wanna know somethin'?" He asked, Bronson arched his eyebrow and nodded; "My brother-crazy sonnuva bitch-killed our mum, what, five years ago. Everyone couldn't believe what he'd done. But the way I saw it, the brutal murder was; artistic, talented, almost poetic. She was a terrible mother, now I know what you're thinkin'. Crazy brothers killed their mum, that's horrible. But she was awful. She abused us, made us homeless because she bought drugs instead of paying rent, our baby brother died 'cause she didn't feed 'im. She beat her husband and sided with whatever scumbag she was with instead of her own children. So they got into an argument and Basil, Basil snapped. He grabbed an axe and hacked at her neck. He slammed her onto the bonnet of the car and sliced down into her neck. When the blade didn't go deep enough, he yanked it out and did it again." Bronson looked at him and thought about shooting him there and then but he listened to the psycho go on; "And she died, the police were called by my sister and Basil escaped. Made his way down to England and three years later he made a plan to break Jason out. Don't know why, but he did. Crazy fool, but after Logan killed my brother and people betrayed me, I'm after their fuckin' heads!" He lunged at Bronson and smacked the gun out of his hands. The gun slid away and Bronson crumpled to the ground under the weight of Kaine's punches. Logan ran in and dropped his elbow onto the back of Kaine's neck and he swatted him away. Logan fell backwards and Bronson felt large hands grip his throat and squeeze. He began to suffocate beneath the raging, bearded psychopath. But Logan got up and kicked hard into Kaine's ribs. He rolled off of Bronson and up to his feet. He went to kick but Logan was too fast and stepped out of the way. The swing collided with nothing and Logan kicked up into Kaine's groin. He cried out in pain and fell down. Bronson got up just in time to see Logan fly across the room as a fist impacted with his face. Bronson dived for the gun and pulled back the hammer. He lined his aim up with Kaine and he fired. The bullet missed him completely and Kaine charged at him. Bronson rolled out of the way and fired twice more as he got to his knees. One bullet missed but the other passed through Kaine's elbow. He screamed and held his wound. Blood seeped out through his fingers and Logan ran at him. His head collided with Kaine's and Kaine went down. Bronson put the end of the gun to the temple of Kaine's head; "You sure you wanna do this?" Logan asked. Bronson nodded and his finger slipped and the bullet flew out and into Kaine's brain. "Oh man I really wanted to ask him any last words." Bronson moaned as he slumped depressingly. Logan laughed and they left Kaine's dead body in the room.
